My guess is original was zinc and the Chineseum Aluminium. Learning the hard way about Webers. Not loving them so far, but we are somewhat committed... or should be.
A friend bought one, it runs good but bad build quality, the linkages on the carb hit the body and interferes when accelerating. Will have to pull and hopefully file or tighten
hello! can you help a bit? i have one weber carb on one of my Ladas but i cannot go to check what it actually was.. it looks same as DGV but it uses the throttle flaps with half gears and both of them opens in same time
Hello 👋 it sounds like you have the DGS , most likely a 38/38 as fitted to the Ford 3 litre "Essex" V6 as fitted to the UK Ford Granada mk1 and the Ford Capri . I have both original Weber and a Chinese copy which I will be testing in the future.
Amigo the cheap weber carb work gd for my experience i build a d15b2 with po8-3 head VTEC but i didn't plug vtec at all i put some better spring and retainers and a delta 272 cam y8 head gasket and im probably around 10.1 compression to 11.1 and i made some distributor adjustments and fit the odbo distributor on head and used a 32/36 Weber carb from ebay and i can tell you my CRX sounds like a v8 ford and run like a Ferrari big big difference plus she is peppy like hell people don't believe how beautiful she sounds with the 272 delta cam and how fast she is well she have stage 2 clutch and 10 pound flywheel jjjj 😁 and she can pull nice to 82 hundred rpm im real happy with the cheap weber carb i dont if you feel the same amigo about the carb
I'm curious why you didn't get a 38/38? If you are building performance engines, the 38/38 will flow a lot more fuel. I just replaced my Weber 32/36 with a $70 ebay knockoff Weber 38/38 on my 2 liter Volvo Amazon. Amazing difference!
Oh I did get a 38 too ! I also have quite a few genuine Weber 32/36's and 38's .. and a good 35 years experience working with them . The 32/36 should not be underestimated, also quite handy on the Pinto engine at lower RPM's , with one butterfly closed it helps the intake port velocity high. When setup correctly (re-jetted) and engine RPM over 3000 the opening of the second butterfly can give quite a kick and happily fuel it to 7000rpm.
I couldn't agree more, and apart from the weight difference the castings look very much alike. I will investigate more in depth and check internal dimensions and jet sizes.... I'm glad they copied the earlier version of the Weber with the exposed mixture screw for the idle circuit air - fuel ratio. I have now had a 38 DGS copy arrive which I will try on the Essex V6 once built up... Just a shame I don't have access to an engine dyno!
@@BLOWN8CYLINDER yes, some performance/efficiency numbers would be helpful. I enjoy watching Robot Cantina for his mile per gallon testing, you might enjoy.
I have not had chance to try it yet.... however I am currently putting a Pinto engine together which it can be bolted to and tried. Please check my latest videos for this build.
To be honest not had chance to try it... I have both the 32/36 and the 38 for two engines I'm building up.. however other projects have got in the way. Please check my videos for the "other projects " .
A valid point and one which will be tested in the future.... I have worked with the original Webers for over 30 years and I was quite excited to take a look at one of these copies..... and yes, a lot lighter but as long as the drillings in the body are the same, the venturi shape is the same etc it should perform the same.... I have both a 3 litre ''Essex'' V6 and Pinto engines to build up , I have both the 32/36 and 38 copies to try.
@@BLOWN8CYLINDER yeah I used to have twin dellorto's on my Datsun and now building another one, webers etc are 1k more expensive so thinking of giving these fajs a try. It's certainly no high end motor so little confused as to buy these cheaper version or will it be a case of poor man pays twice.

I've got the 32-36 on my 258 ci in a old Jeep, put in the cross shaft bearing kit and glad I did. Runs great on all angles too.
Ahhhh. Dgev dgav dgv difference! Great info thank you.

Старий добрий вебер....
Looks like the Weber/Holley I rebuilt yrs ago, old one ended up having shaft play and made a vac leak, customer bought a new one.

If it keeps old cars on the road, its good news

I cant wait to see comparison tests. Old school fuel feeders. I take it this carb was not electric choke after as advertised.
Yes, it is electric....but comes with a manual option
look forward to video on v6
Did you did like the ebay cheap 32/36 Weber carb
I have not had chance to try it yet.... however I am currently putting a Pinto engine together which it can be bolted to and tried. Please check my latest videos for this build.
Will be buying a knock off 32/36 for 1981 Toyota pickup
I just got one of those Weber carb.Was wondering how did it perform?

@BLOWN8CYLINDER were you able to test them?
What were them cheap ones like in general
Not had chance to try one....but as soon as I have built up a suitable test engine I will be making more videos.
Kind of hard to judge something like this by looks and weight, it should be judged by performance? Aluminium is the new zinc.

The “Chinese clones” are unreliable, problematic, cheaper quality and not of the same aluminum product as the OEM “Webers.” “DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.”
